When we arrived there was a very strange odour. We went to the front desk and the brought in an essential oil reed sticks. It didn't really help but I appreciated the effort. It would have been nice to know that the rooms were actually a part of the dorms. We probably would not have stayed here. Our room was the farthest possible spot!! The layout was also very strange. It was basically 3 levels. The entry floor held the washroom which emitted a horrible odour. To the right you go up 4 stairs and there was a desk with a chair. then down the stair a queen bed in the cubby and a pull out sofa. There was a table and chairs and a decent kitchen. The model I thought I booked had the bed on the second level. so basically the second level was useless and 4 of us were on main level. It was tight.Apart for that it was spotless. Was it worth the cost? Probably not. Would I stay again. Probably not.

The property is in a run-down area which is not easily accessible, has no amenities nearby etc. it gives an eerie feeling. We had two bookings - the first one my wife and daughter checked out on the first day and I had to cancel the second booking.

The property is in an amazing location and was perfect for our family. The negative is that the location is very loud, and was under construction. I would absolutely go back but just wanted to make sure folks know how loud it was. The staff were great as well.

Convenient place to stay

KM apartments are on a floor of a block of accommodation that otherwise house University of Edinburgh students. We found the location convenient for us, the apartment to be quiet (though we understand not all of them are quiet), well furnished, clean and suitable for us. The breakfast was good, though simple.

Great place for a stay

The apartments/hotel is in a great location. View of Arthur’s Seat right outside. Not a far walk to the Royal Mile or other museums. Great amount of space. Kitchenette was nice to have especially for a week. The refrigerator is bigger than a mini fridge. A bit of a maze to get to your room and the lift was out part of the stay. Will definitely stay again!
